People naturally gravitate toward youthful energy and beauty. It is little wonder that so many put extra effort into looking as young as possible. Unfortunately, there can be a lot of obstacles to looking and feeling young, including imperfections in your smile. However, the good news is that cosmetic dentistry may be able to help you recapture some of your youthful glow in at least five outstanding ways:
Prevent Facial Sagging
If you have several missing teeth, your cheeks may not have enough support to look round, plump, and youthful. Modern dentistry offers several treatments that can help to restore your facial shape by replacing lost teeth. Many patients opt for dental implants because they most closely resemble natural teeth, both in their function and appearance.
Get Rid of Dental Stains
Smoking, as well as the consumption of dark beverages like coffee, can cause noticeable dental discoloration, which can make you look years older. Your dentist might suggest that you undergo a professional whitening treatment, which uses a powerful formula to break up pigment molecules in the teeth and potentially brighten them by several shades. Alternatively, you could use veneers or bonding to hide severe discoloration.
Repair Broken and Worn Teeth
Genetics, injuries, or past lifestyle choices may have caused your teeth to become broken or worn down. A skilled dentist can use restorations, such as metal-free crowns, to renew the look, function, and feel of damaged teeth. Metal-free treatment options can look so natural that they are virtually indistinguishable from natural dentition.
Achieve a More Even Gumline
Due to genetics or other factors, you might have excess gum tissue or an uneven gumline, both of which can adversely affect the aesthetics of your smile. Gum recontouring is a minimally invasive surgery that can shape the gumline in a way that creates more pleasing proportions.
Boost Your Confidence
The way you feel about yourself can have a significant impact on how others view you. In many cases, a confident disposition is regarded as a sign of youth and power. Enhancing your smile via cosmetic dentistry might just give you the self-image boost that you need to take charge in social situations.
Transforming your teeth via cosmetic dentistry could make you look — and possibly even feel — years younger! Talk to your dentist to learn about your treatment options.
